The Tabernacle

Christ at the Center “And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

The tabernacle, visible upon entering the church, is for the reservation of the Blessed Sacrament, the abiding Real Presence of Christ (Matthew 28:20). The Blessed Sacrament is reserved for the sick, for the dying, and for devotional adoration.

The tabernacle rests on a marble pedestal in a uniquely designed niche as part of the newly constructed church. The wooden cover that now graces the tabernacle is the work of parishioner, Larry Lucash. The three artistic panels attached to the cover depict three Resurrection stories as found within the gospels. They are the artwork of Sr. _________________ .

This niche was enlarged and transformed into a small Reservation Chapel, inviting all who wish to spend some time in devotional prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. Kneelers and seating are provided for this purpose. Holy silence is requested. The tabernacle is now the physical center of the church, placing Christ at the center. Likewise, we are called to make Christ the center of our lives, and our parish community.
